Just a big ol’ nerd like everyone else.
I love the chaos of a good card game like Fluxx or Unstable Unicorns.

OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API appropriate for use with gaming applications and many other types of audio applications. The library models a collection of audio sources moving in a 3D space that are heard by a single listener somewhere in that space. The basic OpenAL objects are a Listener, a Source, and a Buffer. There can be a large number of Buffers, which contain audio data. Each buffer can be attached to one or more Sources, which represent points in 3D space which are emitting audio. There is always one Listener object (per audio context), which represents the position where the sources are heard – rendering is done from the perspective of the Listener.

Copy Editor: A RegEx Puzzle Game
It’s a word-puzzle game that incrementally teaches you how to use Regular Expressions (RegEx) to find & replace text. Some of the puzzles add silly restraints for you to work around, and the game has charming NPC coworkers that introduce each challenge.
I’ve seen publisher/subscriber out in the wild.
I like learning through games, because it helps keep me engaged. BitBurner is a free incremental JavaScript programming game that I enjoyed. It even has a coding puzzle element similar to games on codin game.com, which has a bunch of free games/puzzles in several languages.
These games didn’t necessarily walk me through programming concepts, but got me comfortable with reading documentation and a offered a sandbox to experiment in. YMMV.
Has she discovered the use of puns yet? I would recommend those cheesy dad-joke books and the joke pages from copies of Reader’s Digest.
